The Cascadia 4x4 "Flipster" is the best answer to a problem many of us face after installing a winch on our vehicles: where does one mount their license plate in a visible and legal location without detracting from the aesthetics of their Jeep, Truck, or SUV? The "Flipster" solves this issue while retaining full functionality of your winch. Simply flip up your license plate and The "Flipster" holds it in any position.

The Flipster has been completely redesigned! We went back to the drawing board and created the Flipster V2. It combines the best elements of both the Hawse and Roller Flipsters into one versatile package.

- The included 7/8" thick CNC machined 6061 anodized aluminum spacer allows the V2 to work with either Hawse or Roller fairleads.

- The new design provides the user with the option to run an aftermarket winch hook (like the Factor 55 Flatlink).

- Without the included spacer mounted a 1" thick hawse fairlead fits perfectly (with or without winch hook). With the spacer mounted a standard roller fairlead fits perfectly (with or without winch hook).

Cascadia 4x4 is proud to introduce the worlds first and only hawse fairlead with an integrated LED light. We took all the features of our best-selling hawse fairlead and upped the ante significantly by integrating the Hella® MST-6 LED light (featuring 24 flash patterns). The light can be used as auxiliary lighting in steady-on mode to illuminate your winching area/road ahead, or as an emergency light in flash-mode. In order to provide you with a complete package we have included a universal DIY wiring kit* with flash controller.

- Compatible with both hawse/roller fairleads and aftermarket winch hooks.

- High precision torque hinge to hold license plate sturdily in any position. Allows the license plate to cover the fairlead when the winch is not in use. Simply flipping up the license plate by hand grants easy access to the winch line.

We like to do things a little bit differently at Cascadia 4x4. Our hawse fairlead is no exception! We drastically stepped away from the classic slot-shaped fairlead design offered by most manufacturers and created something innovative and interesting. The design is heavily influenced by the results of simulation studies conducted with the latest engineering software in order to achieve maximum strength. The fairlead is also stylistically matched to the "Flipster V2" but works just as well on its own. To top it off we decided to make it out of 6061 aluminum and give it the most durable aluminum finish known to humans - Type III hard anodizing.

CNC machined from USA sourced 6061 aluminum. At 1" thick this fairlead surpasses industry standards. Designed and simulation tested with the latest engineering software to produce the strongest fairlead shape possible. Each fairlead is hand finished to remove any imperfections left by the machining process. This ensures a smooth sliding surface for your synthetic winch line which in turn will make it last longer. We also machined a 1/8" radius fillet on the reverse side of the fairlead as a safety feature to prevent frayed lines. Type III "engineered hardcoat" anodized to MIL-A-8625F specifications. This is the strongest and most abrasion resistant finish available. 100% made in North America
